Hilarious, pitch-perfect stories where everyday school life becomes completely extraordinary! By the brilliant Blue Peter-award winning team of Pamela Butchart and Thomas Flintham, the best in the business! Chaos and mayhem reign as Izzy and her friends take on another hilarious (mis)adventure. There's no such thing as an ordinary day at school when they're around... Izzy and her friends overhear their head teacher talking about "missing treasure" and "running out of time". They know this means there's TREASURE buried in the school somewhere and that Mr Graves wants it all for himself. So Jodi says they've got to find it first, and they should start by searching the staffroom. After seeing things they will never forget, they head to the basement. Gary Petrie's dad is working down there and he's seen something SHINY! So they send Zach's cat down with a camera strapped to her head and study the footage carefully. What they see is SHOCKING and CHANGES EVERYTHING . It's not treasure in the basement, it's a BEAST with SHINING EYES and it's coming to get them! RUN!!!

Really good but a bit too easy for me

I've read the complete series of these books to date, with my eight year old daughter, and she's loved them all. This is another fun story, and I loved the conclusions the children came to trying to solve the mystery of the beast in the basement by themselves.

When you've run out of books to read on holiday.

My kids had asked me to get hold of a few more of these. Really enjoyed this. Mishearing can cause lots of problems when you’re 10. Really fun

Have you been into any basements recently? If you’re even thinking about it this may be the book to read first - to be prepared of course!

Hilarious, not really that scary and packed full of adventure the author once again makes the humdrum ordinary of school become extraordinary with Izzy her friends and their (mis)adventures!

Made me feel like an actual primary schooler for 200 plus pages. I felt like I was just part of the gang listening intently to the juiciest story and eager to be part of what happens next.

Although the story became somewhat obvious this still managed to capture perfectly the wild and vivid imagination of kids.

Each character felt very distinct too.
